I'll be here tonight. No date. Did go to the BEACH, in Mason, for a NY celebration, at 9. Nice fireworks display, and such. It was free, as I still have a pass, as does my sis, whom got me to take her.

I do plan to "Ring in the New year", in front of my '62 Zenith Roundie, and get a shot of the ball at 12:00, If I can, and put it on AK, as some others are doing. I did this 2 years ago. I meant to do this on the 2000, but it is NOT working right at the moment. Intermittent color and video, AND a knob broke off, for the channel control!! :(
I'll glue it back, but I don't know if it will work right or not....

So, I'll go to the "old standby", in the basement, and get a shot or two. Then, I'll watch Twilight Zone, or maybe 24, I think it is on WGN or such(not sure which season).

BTW-- Rodney called today. He is blaming ALL of the trouble he got into on his wife. As usual he claims he knew nothing of the theft, and such and it is ALL his wife's fault. he is talking of divorcing her. and I told him to remember the words "for better or for worse", from his vows.

Bummer, man, I'd love to see you fire up the RCA2000 but if it ain't working right, well, hopefully you'll get her back in shape again. Got another busy week coming up at work, even though we had closing, it had been light due to the holiday. BTW, I plan on getting a screen shot of 2006 on my antique TV too, my 1982 Zenith System 3. B-) Didn't plan it that way, one plan was to replace it in 1993 or so as TV's go but it keeps going although there has beena few times she has shown her age a little. I had a chance a long time ago for a Zenith roundie, it had the same knobs as my 1970 Chromacolor so it must have been newer than 1962 but I passed it up. B-( I think it would be cool to use a roundie as a main set, play with people's minds as they come over to visit. B-) IIRC, when I visited the LBJ library in Austin, Texas, they has a mockup of the Oval Office and LBJ had three Zenith sets, I think they were black and white, not sure but they had retangular screens, I think it was from circa 1966 or so and his sets had the same knobs as my Chromacolor.
